Hey if anyone can help me here I'd appreciate it. I may have to replace my video card but I'm not sure what to get. This is what I have now;
EVGA 512-P3-1150-TR GeForce GTS 250 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
This is my processor;
Intel Core i7-920 2.66GHz LGA 1366 Quad-Core Processor
This is my motherboard;
MB ASUS P6T 1366 X58 RTL
Of course all three of these components are either out of stock or discontinued at Newegg.
I don't have the money to build a new rig so instead I'd like to get the best video card possible that has the right connections for what I have. I just don't remember what specs must match up for it to work on my pc.

Thanks. Yea I wish money wasn't a factor but I probably need to keep it under $200. That 2nd one looks nice but it has GDDR5 memory. I have 3 gigs of GDDR3. Doesn't this need to match? What about the card memory? I have 512mb and it has 1G. Is the only thing I really need to look at to be sure it's compatible is the interface which is PCI Express 2.0 x16?
Also, my Cuda cores is 128. That superclocked GTX 560 has 336 cuda cores. Does this matter?

Since your previous card uses the PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface just like the video cards through those links, that's all that really matters. Although you'll wanna check if your PSU (Power Supply Unit) could handle it. If your PSU is 600w or better, than your good to go.

Yea I have 600w. I checked Chivalry's web site and alot of people with better and worse rigs than mine are having similar problems with crashing and a drop in frame rate so I'm hoping it's just the game. I'm also going to change the nvidia settings for higher performance and see if that helps.
Thanks for your input.

The 560 is a best for anything you'd want to do gaming wise. Chivalry is a very poorly optimized game (for now) and people with high end cards get FPS lag. My brother lagged on it with an MSI 6970 and those things do not mess around.
